Conjecture that perfect groups P(r,n,k,r−1,q)P(r,n,k,r-1,q) are of type Z~\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}}

About 6 years old · traced to

Let P(r,n,k,s,q)P(r,n,k,s,q) be the cyclically presented group in question, and let Z~\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}} denote the group type used in the paper. Let n,k,q≥1n,k,q\geq 1 and 2≤r<n2\leq r<n be integers such that

(n,k−1,q)=1.(n,k-1,q)=1.

Assume also that

k≢1(modn),k≢1+q(modn).k\not\equiv 1\pmod n,\qquad k\not\equiv 1+q\pmod n.

Type-Z~\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}} conjecture. If P(r,n,k,r−1,q)P(r,n,k,r-1,q) is perfect, then it is of type Z~\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}}. The preceding theorem establishes the corresponding perfectness criterion within the type-Z~\tilde{\mathfrak{Z}} family; the conjecture proposes that this type condition is necessary for perfect, nontrivial groups under the stated hypotheses. The supplied text gives no resolution.
